Any opinions on the CFO leaving? I'm sure his "personal reasons" included the inflated revenues of the past few quarters.

I'd like an opinion on the prospects for this stock. I just visited CompUSA and I saw tons of QDEK boxes, mostly RealHelp and their Anti Virus product. FA98 still had a few endcaps and was selling for $28 a box. Guard Dog was there too.

Looks like QDEK is getting very aggressive in buying shelf space. But their prices are high, indicating to me that they can't afford to lose much more money. CYBR's products were priced cheaper but less visible.

I also see that McAfee's VirusScan is going for $20 a box. How low can prices go? Are they making any money or are they just ruining the party for everyone else while they go after the enterprise market.

Finally, what does everyone think about CYBR's contest to get users to update the product online? I sense that maybe these guys are getting desperate. Could it be that the buggy product they shipped this fall has significantly damaged whatever brand equity they had built up? I would think that except for the good numbers CYBR had on PC Data, which measures sell through, not sell in.

Wake up thread! Lets hear some responses. The Yahoo board is getting better than this place.
